IMPROVEMENT IN MUSIC-STAND STANDARDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,594, dated February 13, 1872; antedated J annary 25, 1872.

I, JAMES THORNTON, of Oswego city, in the county ofOswego, State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Music- Stands, ot which the following is a specilication:

My invention has relation to certain new and .ing freely up and down. On the top of this rod C is a joint to which may be attached arcadingboard or mirror, &;c., as may be required.

The upright standard B iscleft through the center to an extent sufficient to give elasticity to the jaws of saine. A turned ball, D, is tted on the top of the standard B, having an eccentric hole and a corresponding eccentric on the top of standard, so that by a partial revolution of this lball D the eccentric passes the jaws or the upright standard, and thus trips the upright rod() and holds it at any required elevation.

Ola-im.

The combination oi' the ball D, having an eccentric cavity and the cleft standard B having an eccentric top with the tube or rod O, all constructed substantially as and for the purpose speciiied.
